Come away to the peace and quiet of Bethlehem Centre, where you will be immersed in a rich pool of intentional silence. With a community of like-minded seekers and supported by the able guidance of Nan Goodship and Murray Groom, you will have an opportunity to delve into the depths of your own soul, and there find a new wholeness, your own sure place.
This short retreat (4 days/3 nights) is an opportunity for anyone with a long weekend to experience intentional Silence. If you already know the gift of a silent retreat or if you are curious to discover what such an experience might bring, welcome! Our days will include an introduction to a variety of contemplative practices, morning and evening group sessions, an opportunity to meet with a spiritual director, and extended periods of freedom to enjoy the beauty of Bethlehem Centre and its surroundings.
A silent retreat is a time to rest and discern, an opportunity to be alone in a supportive community, in nature, and to deepen your spiritual journey. Step back from the wired world, from the chatter of everyday life, and experience the generative quality of meditative silence, an oasis in which to encounter that still, healing voice within, where you can be open to the movement of the Spirit.
